Abstract
A method for manufacturing an image display device includes applying a first photo-curable resin composition to a protective panel to form a first photo-curable resin composition layer. The first photo-curable resin composition layer is irradiated with curing light to form a first cured resin layer. A second photo-curable resin composition is applied to the first cured resin layer to form a second photo-curable resin composition layer. The second photo-curable resin composition layer has a reduced or eliminated height difference, compared with the first photo-curable resin composition layer. The protective panel and an image display member are laminated via the second photo-curable resin composition layer. The second photo-curable resin composition layer is irradiated with curing light.
Claims8
A method for manufacturing an image display device comprising:
- applying a first photo-curable resin composition to a protective panel to form a first photo-curable resin composition layer, the first photo-curable resin composition layer having a first main surface portion and a first protruding portion that rises higher than the first main surface portion along an outer edge of the first main surface portion such that the entire first main surface portion is a recessed portion surrounded by the first protruding portion;
- irradiating the first photo-curable resin composition layer with curing light to form a first cured resin layer;
- applying a second photo-curable resin composition, which has a viscosity higher than a viscosity of the first photo-curable resin composition, to the first cured resin layer by an ink-jet discharge device to form a second photo-curable resin composition layer having:
- a second main surface portion and a second protruding portion positioned on an outer edge of the second main surface portion, the second photo-curable resin composition layer having a reduced or eliminated height difference between the second main surface portion and the second protruding portion, compared with a height difference between the first main surface portion and the first protruding portion;
- laminating the protective panel and an image display member via the second photo-curable resin composition layer;
- and
- irradiating the second photo-curable resin composition layer with curing light,
- wherein the second photo-curable resin composition is applied by the ink-jet discharge device from the first main surface portion surrounded by the first protruding portion of the first cured resin layer up to an outer slope of the first protruding portion of the first cured resin layer while controlling an application amount of the second photo-curable resin composition such that an application amount on a top of the first protruding portion is smaller than an application amount on the outer slope, and
- wherein after applying the second photo-curable resin composition by the ink-jet discharge device and before laminating the protective panel and image display member, the second photo-curable resin composition layer is irradiated with curing light and cured such that a shape of the second photo-curable resin composition layer is maintained.
